Just Physio is one of the top physiotherapy practices situated in Pretoria East. The practice (Elbe Coetzer Fisioterapeute) was established 10 years ago and recently changed ownership under Adrien Dannhauser to Just Physio.

At Just Physio you receive a hands-on treatment. The therapist focus on using soft tissue and manual therapy techniques rather than just putting a machine on and forgetting about you. All of the therapists have over 18 years of combined experience, they all studied further into either Sport, McKenzi or Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (OMT) and are keeping up to date with the latest research and techniques to make sure that their treatments are effective. This new research and techniques are used as “tools” to treat your condition in the best possible way.

How different is a Sport, OMT and McKenzi trained physio from any other physio?

The Sport (SPT1), is a yearlong level 2 professional developmental course by the SASP  that focus on theory and practical components on the prevention, diagnosing and treatment of sport injuries. There are around 600 members nationwide. For more information please follow the following link.

The McKenzie Method is an approach to the assessment and treatment of back and neck pain as well as extremity problems. This approach is also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) and is used worldwide by practitioners and patients. More information on the McKenzie Method here.

OMT trained physiotherapist did a yearlong level 2 course to evaluate, diagnose neuro-musculoskeletal (NMS), spinal and peripheral joint disorders using a clinically reasoned hands-on approach of manual therapy and rehabilitation. – click here.

Be sure that if your physio is trained in either one of these above mentioned courses you will be in very good hands. It teaches physio’s on how to do an in-depth evaluation on a patient and how to use the latest techniques to treat the patient. When you have the correct diagnosis one can treat the patient more successfully as well as holistically.

At Just Physio they use these evaluation techniques to do a thorough first evaluation to ensure they don’t only treat the symptoms but also treat the cause of the problem.
